Real stories, not cheap scares

Everyone recommended Spooked to me because they know I hate the gory stuff, but love stories. This is just scary enough for me. Great stories and really well produced.

coldkooli ,

Amazingly well done.

So good, best subscription EVAH. From the incredible host(!), to the stunning production, and I don't know where they find the storytellers -- this is content worth paying for -- TEN STARS! From minute one, Glynn had me screaming and hiding under my covers. Be afraid, and don't turn out the lights!

kmark2688 ,

Lol, no.

The Debra episode with the lady calling her NEWBORN a they/them is vomit inducing. I couldn’t even listen to the story because that took me out . I’ve now stopped listening to the show as a whole. Bad move.
